Desmond Tutu lecture moves to larger venue
The Cathedral of Saint Andrew is moving a free public lecture next month by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to a larger venue on the church grounds because of strong public interest in the upcoming visit of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
The Peggy Kai Memorial Lecture at 10 a.m. Aug. 4 will now be held in the cathedral instead of Tenney Theatre. The theater will be used if there is an overflow crowd, and people inside will hear a live audio feed.
Reservations are required. Tickets, limited to two per request, may be reserved by contacting the cathedral at 524-2822 or at www.tutuatthecathedralofstandrew.org. The lecture is one of five public events to be held with Tutu in Honolulu in early August.
